MIME media type name : Application
MIME subtype name : Vendor Tree - vnd.dm.delegation+xml
Required parameters : None
Optional parameters :
None
Encoding considerations : 8bit
Security considerations :
In order for device management servers to exchange delegation protocol
messages, the device management servers use an xml document containing
delegation protocol parameters after having set up a secure connection.
This delegation message does not contain any confidential information
and if the device management servers are not familiar with each other,
there would not be a secure connection established in the first place.
It is a pre-requisite that the device management (DM) servers will trust
each other as contractual negotiation will have been done between the
management authorities before any delegation process can be started. The
creation of a secure connection between the device management servers is
mandatory and requires pro-active certificates exchange.
There is no executable content exchanged between the device management
servers. The XML document does not contain confidential information.
Here is the list of the main data:
- DM Server Identifier
- Device Identifier
- Device Manufacturer
- Device Model
- The part of DM Tree which management is to be delegated
- Type of delegation
- Session Identifier
